IMPROVEMENT IN COFFEE-POTS.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 177,259, dated May 9,1876; application filed March 17, 1876.

To all whom it may concern Be it known that I, JOHN LUNDGREN, of thecity of New York, in the county and State of New York, have invented anew and useful Improvement in (Jofi'ee-Pots; and I hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof,referencabeing had to the accompanying drawing, forming a part of thisspecification.

My invention relates to an improvement in the construction ofcofl'ee-pots, of the kind in which a strainer or interior chamber isusedfor holding the coffee, and its object is to construct and arrangethe parts in such a manner that a comparatively small amount of materialand of labor shall be required in the manufacture of such a coffee-pot,so that it it may be sold for a comparatively low price.

.My invention consists in the mode of joiningthe neck, or part withinwhich the strainer is held and secured, to the main portion or body ofthe coffee-pot by means ofa joint of novel'construction, which ishereinafter particularly described. 7

In the accompanying drawing, Figure 1 represents a side elevation,partly in section, of a cofi'ee-pot with my improvement; Fig. 2, ahorizontal section, taken on the line a: w, in Fig. l and Fig. 3, adetail view, showing the form of joint (enlarged) which I use incarrying out my invention.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the severalfigures.

A represents the body of the coffeepot, which may be of any common orordinary kind which may be adapted to receive my.

improvement. B is the neck or upper part ofthe coffee-pot, within whichis suspended, and which is adapted to receive and retain in position astrainer or inner chamber, 0, in which the coffee is placed.

The principal feature of my invention consists in the manner of fittingand joining the neck B to the body A, so as to effect a saving both inthe quantity of material used and also in the labor required, and at thesame time to other convenient form, and is provided witha perforatedbottom, 01, and with a horizontal bead, f, formed at or near its upperend, which said bead f rests upon the bead a, when the strainer isplaced in position for use.

D represents the spout, and F the handle, neither of which is deemed torequire particular description, as both may be of ordinary construction.

By means of this construction and arrangement of the several parts, andmore especially by reason of the peculiar form of the joint and themanner of connecting the neck B, or portion in which the strainer isfitted, to the body A, a considerable saving both of labor and materialis efiected, as the breast, heretofore used in coffee-pots of this kind,is dispensed with; and this improved coifee-pot, provided with astrainer, may be manufactured and sold at a price very little in excessof that at which a common coffee-pot without a strainer is usually sold.

What I claim as my invention is- In a coffee-pot the joint herein shownand described, for connecting the neck B to the body A,-the said jointbeing formed by the double beads a a and b I), provided on theoverlapping portions of the neck B and body A, respectively, the saidparts being arranged, as shown, and afterward soldered, for the purposesset forth. v
